Being truly great and/or being a legend takes a long time...it is likely happening and we don't know it...which is good.

These guys were the best at what they did and quite frankly tracking in any form is s dying art in my opinion.

I read about the family for years, also hunted in similar fashion in the Adirondacks......but never as successful as they were. But it's a fact of life......we all are getting older and this don't last forever. Great to keep these legends in our thoughts.
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Met them in Rangeley Maine years ago when Larry was with them.
What a naturally skilled family.
He lived a good life, the way he wanted.
He is with his Dad, watching over the brothers.
